“Experiment” is a song that I originally wrote on guitar and decided to produce myself using Logic. The process felt pretty involved, but really spending the time to work out the details served me well in the long run. The song tells a story of self reflection and eventually discovery, uncovering a sense of self-pride and conviction by the end. I hope you enjoy listening! :)
And a huge thank you to Joel Chapman for mastering the track and getting me started with mixing as well!
lyrics
~~~
Hey you with the light blue eyes
Can’t forget the day you took me by surprise
I was hoping to call you mine
But then again with you that’s just a waste of time
I don’t want to be your experiment
We’re nothing more than impermanent
I’m not only here for experience
Still I hold my tongue; passive in your midst
Hey you with the gorgeous smile
Can we sit and watch the tide and talk awhile
Seems like you’re wanting to hold my hand
But then again this girl could never be your man
I don’t want to be your experiment
We’re nothing more than impermanent
I’m not only here for experience
Still I hold my tongue; passive in your midst
Been two months since the first night
Remember I caught sight
Red hair, rainbow highlight
Your beauty — it shines bright
You wanted to know me
I thought we’d be carefree
Just us by the seashore
Can you see to my core?
Your intent feels impure
I know that you’re unsure
Just love me for me
My heart’s sore.
Cuz I don’t want to be your experiment
We’re nothing more than impermanent
I’m not only here for experience
Done holding my tongue; passive —
—so I’m not gonna be your experiment
We were nothing more than impermanent
I’m not only here for experience
Won’t be used again get the gist and desist
